I am running for the Renton city council to bring a new voice and positive change to city hall

Issues of concern are:

Homelessness and panhandling, affordable housing for the low income, Controlled and positive growth for our city, many more important issues are facing us and we need real answers

We need a real change in city hall, our current elected officials are not getting the job done

And it time to bring in new leadership to get the job done

Change is not the enemy of progress.
